Welcome to the LIVES
Website
The Lincolnshire Integrated Voluntary Emergency Service (LIVES)
is one of the largest volunteer
organisations in the UK providing a
pre-hospital emergency care service to any person or persons
suffering an acute medical problem or injury across the county
of Lincolnshire.
calls
attended by our members include:
*
Road Traffic Accidents
* Agricultural and Industrial Injury
* Life threatening medical problems
*
Cardiac Arrests
*
Sports related injuries
All members of LIVES are volunteers who
respond
in their own time to 999 calls received via
East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) control. LIVES
members do not receive payment for this service.
The advantage of LIVES Responders is their community based
location which allows a rapid response to most emergencies. In
addition to responding to emergencies, LIVES also has
non-operational volunteers who assist with fund raising and
co-ordination of the service.
LIVES works in partnership with the Ambulance service
and is a recognised leader in best practice and training
for the provision of emergency care.
LIVES volunteers come from the following
groups:
* Lay
Volunteers without
prior medical knowledge
*
Healthcare
Professionals who work within the Health
Service
* Volunteers with expertise in other areas such as fund-raising
and IT
